WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Senator Ma.
hone. Of Virginia says that the Renublicar
delegation to the next national convention
from that state will probably cast twenty
four votes for John Sherman.
90 not know whether Mr. Blaine will
aEain pe candidate said Mr. Malone to
day III he is, presume it will be because
nc Is confident of receiving the nomination
and tolerably sure of an election. If he i
not, 1t looks very much as though the sun
port OF his friends will go to Senator Allison
IN That event, l suppose Mr. Blaine. barino
oic'a.ea the nomination, would expect to be
or. alison S secretary Of state. During ths
Six years OF my service in the senate have
nave mao an opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the senator from Iowa. Ihave
observed him in the caucuseS of the partv ne
well as upon the floor of the chamEer. and
regard MN as something of an uncertain
quantity III politics. Ii any human beino
can tell from one day to another what
MT. Aliisons policy or conduct upon ana
question Will be, that person far surpasses
men IN powers OF discernment Like the
lrlshmah nea. you put your hand upon hin
aho ne is not there. His position upon al
most Ill PUBIC questions it would be
DIFFICULT TO PREDICT
In advance. What he thinks today he ma,
not think tomorrow. If he were elected or
hepuDhcan platform in 1888, as CLEVELAND
was elected upon the Democratic platform ir
1884. 1t would be as difficult for ReDublican,
to tell what Allison would do, after a talk viii
nun IN the White house, as it now is for Oil
democratic brethren in Virginia to predic
what Cleveland will do after a DOW wow with
hiln. so Tar as Virginia is concerned. ii Is
possible that some of the Delegates will he
for Mr.. Blaine or for Mr.. Allison, but | fee
conhoent that the majority of the delegation
WIN 1avor the nomination of Sherman, and
that the unit rule will prevail in the castinu
or the vote in the convention One thino
that will hurt Mr.. Blaine in our state is ar
expression that he made use of in 1884 nrio,
to the meeting of the Republican nationaI
convention in Chicago. It was know
tnat the vote OF the state would be
given to Arthur, but about a month
before the convention met John s Wise
senator Riddleberger and eX-Congressmar
hooper had an interview with Mr. Blaine
winch at the time attracted considerable at
tention They inquired of him, in case g di.
Vloed delegation was sent to the Convention
from virginia, which faction would be recoe,-
nlzed MIR. Blaine replied that ne supposed
that II there were two contesting delegations
both would be admitted, but after all. he
added, about the only influence Virginia will
nave In the next election will be the votes OF
ner twenty-four delegates IN the convention
John Sherman came TO Virginia two wear,
ago and upheld the platform of the Republi
can party in speeches delivered By him il
Richmond and Petersburg. The Republican.
or the state know him. He was not afraid II
declare his principles and to advocate the
success of his party. He did this in no un
certain manner. Abused and vilitied by the
Democratic press of the state he feariessl,
advocated the Republican cause As agaips;
Blaine or Allison l believe the Republican
party in Virginia would prefer the nomiua-
ton OF either Sherman, Joe Hawley, of Con-
necticut, or Don Cameron, of PENNSYLVANIA.
